DISASTER DEFINITION – RA No. 10121

economic or environmental losses and impacts, which
exceeds the ability of the affected community or society

exposure to a hazard; the conditions of vulnerability that
are present; and insufficient capacity or measures to
reduce or cope with the potential negative
consequences, Disaster impacts may include loss of
life, injury, disease and other negative effects on
human, physical, mental and social well-being, together

DISASTER RISK

The potential disaster losses in lives,

health status, livelihood, assets and
services, which could occur.
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

The concept and practice of reducing disaster

risks through systematic efforts to analyze and
manage the causal factors of disasters, including
through reduced exposures to hazards, lessened
vulnerability of people and property, wise
management of land and the environment, and
improved preparedness for adverse events.
 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT

The systematic process of using administrative

directives, organizations, and operational skills
and capacities to implement strategies, policies
and improved coping capacities in order to
lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the
possibility of disaster. Prospective disaster risk
reduction and management refers to risk
reduction and management activities that
address and seek to avoid the development of
new or increased disaster risks, especially if risk
reduction policies are not put in place.
 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

A specialized database which contains, among

others, information on disasters and their human
material, economic and environmental impact,
risk assessment and mapping and vulnerable
groups.
DISASTER MITIGATION

The lessening or limitation of the adverse

impacts of hazards and related disasters.
Mitigation measures encompass engineering
techniques and hazard-resistant construction as
well as improved environmental policies and
public awareness.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

The knowledge and capacities developed by

governments, professional response and
recovery organizations, communities and
individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to,
and recover from, the Impacts of likely, imminent
or current hazard events or conditions.
Preparedness action is carried out within the
context of disaster risk reduction and
management and aims to build the capacities
needed to efficiently manage all types of
emergencies and achieve orderly transitions
from response to sustained recovery.
DISASTER PREVENTION

The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of

hazards and related disasters. It expresses the
concept and intention to completely avoid
potential adverse impacts through action taken in
advance such as construction of dams or
embankments that eliminate flood risks, land-use
regulations that do not permit any settlement in
high-risk zones, and seismic engineering designs
that ensure the survival and function of a critical
building in any likely earthquake.
DISASTER RESPONSE

The provision of emergency services and

public assistance during or immediately
after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce
health impacts, ensure public safety and
meet the basic subsistence needs of the
people affected. Disaster response is
predominantly focused on immediate and
short-term needs and is sometimes called
"disaster relief'.
 "CBDRRM"

"Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management" - a process of disaster risk
reduction and management in which at risk
communities are actively engaged in the
identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring and
evaluation of disaster risks in order to reduce
their vulnerabilities and enhance their capacities,
and where the people are at the heart of decision-
making and implementation of disaster risk
reduction and management activities.
REGIONAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

The Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management Councils (RDRRMCs) shall
coordinate, integrate, supervise, and evaluate the
